Hydnum Repandum, commonly known as Hedgehog Mushroom, is found in forests across Europe, North America, and Asia. These mushrooms have a distinctive spiny underside instead of gills. Belonging to the Hydnaceae family, they typically grow in association with hardwood trees like oak and beech. Hedgehog Mushrooms cannot be cultivated artificially and are prized for their sweet, nutty flavor. They are versatile in various dishes including pasta, risottos, and sauces.
